About John Spottiswoode

John and Barbara grew up on the North Shore of MA. We were high school sweethearts who got together again 35 years later. John has been boating the coast of Maine for 40 years. Barbara has been first mate since 2003.

John Spottiswoode purchased this yacht in 2006

Why John Spottiswoode chose Portsmouth

John had a construction business in Kennebunkport. Barara worked full time in Danvers, MA. We were lucky enough to find a more than suitable marina here in the Piscataqua River, where the State line between Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Kittery, Maine runs right up the middle. Perfect Timing became our year 'round home in 2004 when John installed a heating system that would keep us warm in the freezing winters.

What makes this yacht unique

Every thing is at your finger tips: Shopping, golfing, water activities, restaurants (fine or casual dining)

Beautiful sunsets and, of course, the unique setting of staying overnight on the water.

We've stayed on board several times...and to our delight...it has proved worthy of parties (large and small), romantic getaways, and as a central point on the New England coast for shopping and sightseeing to ME; NH and MA. The town of Portsmouth, NH is known as one of NH's most beautiful... while Kittery, ME (just over the bridge) has 'a million' outlets for shopping. Nationally known brands including 'Stonewall Kitchens'; the bakery at 'Where Pigs Fly' and even the beautiful ride to the main 'LL Bean' store are all within reach.

A Great Time

We spent 5 days aboard "Perfect Timing" and found it to be unique and delightful. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated. We especially loved relaxing at the living quarter's bar or the stern's deck to watch the boat traffic on the Portsmouth River at any time of day. Restaurants were a leisurely stroll across the bridge to town. It was a wonderful way to get away from it all.

Badger Island West is a friendly boating community. On the premises you may enjoy our Tiki Bar, fishing from the dock or boat. Get your bait from the bait shack 2 doors down from the marina. Enjoy sunning and socializing on the deck or in the privacy of Perfect Timings cockpit or bow area. Walk across the Memorial Bridge to abundant boutiques and restaurants. Bring your blanket and picnic basket to Prescott Park. Enjoy the beautiful gardens for romantic walks. Prescott Park hosts live bands, plays and many other attractions and activities in their outdoor theater.
